Flowers and cards

Grady loves flowers.  He grows them, picks them for me, buys them for me, and talks to them.  This morning I walked into his room to get him, and I was wearing a floral print shirt.  Because the flowers on the shirt are not growing out of the ground, he said "are those flowers broken or are they still beautiful?"  I said "they're not broken" and he said "they are really really beautiful - I love you little flowers"  He's so funny.

Then, because our neighbor, Darby (Drew's Mom), was not feeling well, Grady wanted to make her a card.  It was so cute - I've never seen him be so careful with his placement of stickers or choice of colors.  He loves her so much (he actually told me he was going to marry her today).  He was so proud to bring the card over to her house and watch her open it.  He's actually been much more into art in general lately.  We've been going to art classes, and he is very proud of the art he makes.  Now I need to find a way to display all of it (well, at least some of it)!
